Europa centrale, 1501. La principessa Agnes, promessa sposa al nobile Stephan Arnolfini, è rapita e violentata da Martin, capo di una banda di mercenari che il padre di Stephan ha licenziato. Mentre nella regione imperversa la peste, Martin e i suoi bravi si asserragliano in un castello che Stephan assedia con un'ingegnosa macchina bellica.
